MAPS period 2 report

No information on developments at the cardinal boundary line from MAPS period 2 work. Two Northern Cardinal recaptures are probably a mated pair this season. The female is one of the first birds I banded here (August 4, 2007).

Three neotropical species were banded for the first time this year: red-eyed vireo, prothonotary warbler and ovenbird. Several PROW and OVEN were calling. Actually heard a yellow-billed cuckoo too.

Red-eyed Vireo

Prothonotary warbler

There appear to be four Eastern Bluebird chicks in this nest box. Only box occupied this year so far.
